10 minutes

Tomato, red onion, and anchovy salad is a classic dish of Italian cuisine that combines simplicity and sophistication. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean traditions where anchovies are a frequent guest at the table due to their rich flavor. This salad impresses with its harmony: sweet, juicy tomatoes are complemented by tangy red onions, while salty anchovies provide a bright accent. Oregano enhances the aroma, and the dressing of olive oil and wine vinegar ties all the ingredients together, creating a perfect balance. The dish is ideal as an appetizer or a light side for main courses, especially fish or pasta dishes.
